The match was abandoned in the 59th minute on Saturday after the collapse of Luton Town’s captain, Tom Lockyer on the pitch. Lockyer was treated on the pitch before being stretchered off and taken to hospital. Luton later offered an update, saying that he is now stable in the hospital and with his family.
A decision was made collectively between the match officials, players, managers from both clubs and the Premier League.
The Premier League in a statement on Wednesday stated that “following the on-field medical emergency involving Luton Town FC player Tom Lockyer, the Premier League Board has decided last Saturday’s AFC Bournemouth v Luton Town FC fixture will be replayed in full.”
“The game will be rescheduled for later in the season, with a date to be confirmed following consultation with relevant parties,” the statement said.
The Saturday game was abandoned with the score at 1:1.
